Place lamb in a deep glass or enamel pan. Combine reamining ingredients and pour over meat; let stand in refirgerator for 24 hours, turning meat occasionally. Drain meat; place on rack in an open roasting pan. Roast in a very hot oven 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to moderate 350 degrees, pour marinade over meat and continue roasting meat for about 2-½ hours or until done to your liking; 140 for rare, 160 for medium.
